supplement the funds of the various
Baptist colleges which educate young
women. The State Convention obli-gated
itself to raise $50,000 for that,
purpose, and of this $f>o0 was expected
to come from Greensboro. The atti-tude
of our people toward education,
and especially the education of women,
is best adjudged by the response to the
appeal made Sunday by Rev. R. T.
Vann, D, D., president of the Baptist
Female University, Raleigh, who was]
present at the service and made a mag-nidcentaddress.
Rev. Livingston John-son,
a former pastor of the church, was

entire force and the newspaper re-'
porters. In appearance he was a typ-leal
hobo, but the story he put up was
new—absolutely new. He gave his
name as narry W. Newton, and his
occupation that of a clerk in the De-partment
of the Interior, Washington.
He said he had been sent to the Indian !
Territory some time ago as a clerk to a
commission. Upon the completion of
bis werk there he was ordered back to
Washington, but made the mistake of
stepping off at Kansas City for a day's
recreation, which ended with the loss
of all his money—some $300 or more.
His drafts on a Washington bank were
not honored promptly and he started
to walk east. When he reached here
his clothes were scarcely saleable at
the ragman's. He told 1 uch a plausi-ble
stery that the officials were im-pressed
and gave him an hour in which
to leave town. He thanked the mayor
and remarked that fifteen minutes
would be sutliclent.

MARKET REPORT.
The receipts on our market for the ;
past week have no! been very largr,
owing to the unfavorable weather for
our farmers handling the weed, but
there has been enough on the market
to keep things fairly busy, aud our
buyers have been moving around right
lively all the while.
The quality of the offerings remain
about the same as previous weeks, with
prices unchanged, but the- market is
not fully as active as it was the past
week.
ings Bank met last week and re-elected
all the old officers. The report of
Treasurer Hodgln was gratifying, as
it showed the most successful year's
business since the bank was opened.

elevator for carrying dust to boiler,

Mr. C. A. Bray has returned from a

W.E Martin, of Winston, has just
patented a tobacco drying system.
Raleigh business men have awakened
to the fact that the town needs a tobac-co
market and are subscribing liberally
toward the project. They will find it
casierti) maintain a market than to re-establish
one.
Advices received from Cuba concern-ing
the tobacco crop are that the dry
weather has prevented the hill crop
from being set out at all, and the only
tobacc* for the coming crop must be
gathered from the valleys and plains.
This is going to make a very short crop,
extremely high in price.
Mr. G. R. Lybrook, treasurer of the
R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company,
Winston, died at the Twin City hos-pital
Monday. He was in the 2"th
yearof his age. Mr. Lybrook was born
at Stuart, Patrick county, Va., and
went to Winston when a boy. He was
a nephew of Mr. R. J. Reynolds. A
general break down of his system,
brought on by an attack of malarial
fever, was the cause of his death.
The reduction of the tobacco tax to
six cents a pound was urged in Wash-ington
last week by Col. John S. Cun-ingbam,
president of the North Caro-lina
Tobacco Growers' Association.
He argues that a smaller tax will en-able
the manufacturers to pay better
prices for leaf, and he is right. The
prospects of maintaining high prices
oa the weed grown this year will be
brighter if Congress removes the re-mainderof
the war tax.—Southern To-bacco
Journal.
Rex Gass, assistant floor manager
at the Farmers' warehouse, Winston,
was shot iu the abdomen and perhaps
fatally wounded Mouday morning by
George W. l'ruett, a picture agent
from Wilmington, who was accompa-nied
by his partner, Charles Luton, of
Elizabeth City. The shooting occur-red
on the warehouse tloor. The
wounded man was removed to the hos-pital
at once The operation perform-ed
showed that the ball went through
the bowels and lodged at or near the
backbone. There is little hope for his j
recovery, l'ruett and Luton were!
caught by several men in the ware-house
and there was talk of lynching
the first named, but the advice of'
cooler beads was heeded. The im- \
pressiou is general that the shooting
was premeditated. Pruett and Luton
were committed to j*il without bail.
The trouble between Gass and Pruett
startid last night over a girl. They
went home with her from a religious
service, both claiming to have engage-ments
with her. When arrested Pruett I
had two pistols, one in each hand,
while a pistol and pair of knucks were
found on Luton.
CULTIVATION OF KILLER TOBACCO.
Secretary Wilson has announced that
experts of the Agricultural department
will hunt all over the United States
and its new possessions for conditions
favorable to the cultivation of the filler
tobacco, such as is now raised in Cuba>
so that if possible all the filler tobacco
used in this country eventually may be
raised withiu the boundaries of the
United States.
"The United States," he said,'is now
paying $8,000,000 for filler tobacco,
which comes mostly from Cuba, and
$5,000,000 for wrapper tobacco. We
have succeeded in finding in this coun-try
the conditions under which all the
wrapper tobacco we need can be raised
here, and experts of the Department of
Agriculture for the first time are seek-ing
soils adaptable to the cultivation
of the floe filler product. We have
parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Texas
selected for the investigations of our
experts and land for similar purposes
will be selected in all our new island
possessions, with ]a view .to asertain-ing
how and under what conditions the '
tiller product can be built up here."

MARKET REPORT.
The receipts on our market for the ;
past week have no! been very largr,
owing to the unfavorable weather for
our farmers handling the weed, but
there has been enough on the market
to keep things fairly busy, aud our
buyers have been moving around right
lively all the while.
The quality of the offerings remain
about the same as previous weeks, with
prices unchanged, but the- market is
not fully as active as it was the past
week.
ings Bank met last week and re-elected
all the old officers. The report of
Treasurer Hodgln was gratifying, as
it showed the most successful year's
business since the bank was opened.
Liddell engine, Lombard dust boiler,
elevator for carrying dust to boiler,
good belts, etc., all in good condition.

W.E Martin, of Winston, has just
patented a tobacco drying system.
Raleigh business men have awakened
to the fact that the town needs a tobac-co
market and are subscribing liberally
toward the project. They will find it
casierti) maintain a market than to re-establish
one.
Advices received from Cuba concern-ing
the tobacco crop are that the dry
weather has prevented the hill crop
from being set out at all, and the only
tobacc* for the coming crop must be
gathered from the valleys and plains.
This is going to make a very short crop,
extremely high in price.
Mr. G. R. Lybrook, treasurer of the
R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company,
Winston, died at the Twin City hos-pital
Monday. He was in the 2"th
yearof his age. Mr. Lybrook was born
at Stuart, Patrick county, Va., and
went to Winston when a boy. He was
a nephew of Mr. R. J. Reynolds. A
general break down of his system,
brought on by an attack of malarial
fever, was the cause of his death.
The reduction of the tobacco tax to
six cents a pound was urged in Wash-ington
last week by Col. John S. Cun-ingbam,
president of the North Caro-lina
Tobacco Growers' Association.
He argues that a smaller tax will en-able
the manufacturers to pay better
prices for leaf, and he is right. The
prospects of maintaining high prices
oa the weed grown this year will be
brighter if Congress removes the re-mainderof
the war tax.—Southern To-bacco
Journal.
Rex Gass, assistant floor manager
at the Farmers' warehouse, Winston,
was shot iu the abdomen and perhaps
fatally wounded Mouday morning by
George W. l'ruett, a picture agent
from Wilmington, who was accompa-nied
by his partner, Charles Luton, of
Elizabeth City. The shooting occur-red
on the warehouse tloor. The
wounded man was removed to the hos-pital
at once The operation perform-ed
showed that the ball went through
the bowels and lodged at or near the
backbone. There is little hope for his j
recovery, l'ruett and Luton were!
caught by several men in the ware-house
and there was talk of lynching
the first named, but the advice of'
cooler beads was heeded. The im- \
pressiou is general that the shooting
was premeditated. Pruett and Luton
were committed to j*il without bail.
The trouble between Gass and Pruett
startid last night over a girl. They
went home with her from a religious
service, both claiming to have engage-ments
with her. When arrested Pruett I
had two pistols, one in each hand,
while a pistol and pair of knucks were
found on Luton.
CULTIVATION OF KILLER TOBACCO.
Secretary Wilson has announced that
experts of the Agricultural department
will hunt all over the United States
and its new possessions for conditions
favorable to the cultivation of the filler
tobacco, such as is now raised in Cuba>
so that if possible all the filler tobacco
used in this country eventually may be
raised withiu the boundaries of the
United States.
"The United States," he said,'is now
paying $8,000,000 for filler tobacco,
which comes mostly from Cuba, and
$5,000,000 for wrapper tobacco. We
have succeeded in finding in this coun-try
the conditions under which all the
wrapper tobacco we need can be raised
here, and experts of the Department of
Agriculture for the first time are seek-ing
soils adaptable to the cultivation
of the floe filler product. We have
parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Texas
selected for the investigations of our
experts and land for similar purposes
will be selected in all our new island
possessions, with ]a view .to asertain-ing
how and under what conditions the '
tiller product can be built up here."
